STAFF REPORT

Milwaukee released former Bethune-Cookman pitcher Hiram Burgos. Burgos, drafted in 2009, made his major-league debut last year, starting six games for the Brewers. But a right-shoulder injury ended his season. He underwent shoulder surgery in June, ending his 2014 season after going 1-3 with a 6.50 ERA in four starts at Triple-A Nashville. In 2012, Burgos was a combined 10-4 with a 1.95 ERA on three minor-league levels.
